Dear friends!
My oracle (8.1.7.7) is running on solaris 7 and also on Win-2000 When I am shutting down database In Normal mode it is not working only shutdown Abort is working.Please suggest me to how can I solve the problem
Thanks

Hi,
Okay when u try to shutdown the database through NORMAL option ,Oracle waits for the connected users to get disconnected.Till the users are not disconnected Oracle waits for the shutdown.Now in ur case shutdown abort works so the next time when Oracle starts up it performs instance recovery .What u do is that u do a shutdown abort of the database and startup and again shutdown in immediate option.
Try it out and it will work then on.....
